Catholic Easter

Very important holiday: Holy Week (Easter)A very important festival: Holy Week (Easter). It's a passing holiday. This is, of course, a purely religious holiday.

Most people go to church for service, and also arrange processions through the streets. Some are dressed up as Christ, some as Mary, some as Pontius Pilate or Roman warriors, children as angels. Christ is “crucified,” and he must stand motionless almost all day under the scorching sun. These days it is usually very hot weather. Wearing decorated figures of saints on the streets.

On Friday, the whole country is paralyzed, there are no shops or transport. (A lot of supermarkets are always open.) These days it is a very strict dry law, you can not get anywhere drinks. So, naturally, everyone stockpiles and buys in advance. Very religious people spend the whole week in prayers, only historical films like Cleopatra or Spartacus are broadcast on television.

Many go to the beach or to the mountains, as the vast majority of the population is on vacation all week and the children are on vacation. On Sunday, apart from church service, there is no holiday.
